Listen! To the northern part of the Primordial Chaos!
A rainbow cloud sliced through the dim sky, swaying for thousands of miles. Nüwa, the Empress, flew swiftly, reaching the northern region in just a moment!
The northern part of the Primordial Chaos was now as devastated as the other regions, with the Heavenly River roaring incessantly and the stars of the universe falling, creating massive craters!
A scene of the end of the world!
Nüwa threw the red embroidery ball, her expression grave, and smashed it down fiercely!
Below, a range of mountains collapsed, and the Heavenly River surged!
The red embroidery ball struck, creating a thunderous boom. Mountains were lifted and plunged into the earth!
"Ao!!!" A muffled cry of pain came from beneath the earth, echoing loudly!
The entire northern land shook, the ground cracked, and the fissures resembled chasms in the sky!
"Boom!" A vast area suddenly trembled, rising sharply, the terrain soaring thousands of feet!
"Nüwa! Why?" A deep voice thundered, deafening and echoing through the heavens, stirring up boundless storms!
"The Buzhou Mountain has collapsed! We need a pillar to support the heavens and the earth!" Nüwa said coldly!
After a moment of silence, the earth rumbled loudly. A vast area was engulfed in endless storms, and the terrain rose, reaching the clouds!
A massive head lifted from the ground, as large as a star, with towering mountains and trees growing on its top!
Its gaze was hazy but filled with anger!
"You, the two races of the Witches and the Demons, have caused such calamity, and now you come to me for support and repair. This is truly an insult! You are courting death!" The voice thundered, a white wave spewing from its mouth, stretching for thousands of miles!
That was just its breath!
"Words are useless! Xuanwu, this is the will of the Heavenly Dao! If you cooperate, I will leave your true spirit to be reborn, guiding you to the path in your next life! With such merit, you will achieve the Great Dao in your next life!" Nüwa said!
Xuanwu was furious, raising his head and roaring: "Since the beginning of the heavens, no one has dared to speak to me like this! Nüwa, even before Hongjun, no one was as bold and reckless as you! Get lost!!!"
"Hmph! Then let's see who is stronger!" Nüwa was enraged, her eyes flashing with cold light!
No more words! She threw the red embroidery ball again, which instantly grew to the size of a mountain, whistling down!
"Just you!" Xuanwu spat out a thick, pillar-like breath, piercing the heavens and earth, rumbling loudly!
A thunderous boom echoed as Xuanwu's breath struck the red embroidery ball like a meteor, the immense force sending it back!
"Hmph! You have no choice!" Nüwa coldly said, the power of the Heavenly Dao surging down, the dim light of the red embroidery ball suddenly shining brightly, overwhelming the heavens and earth!
Nüwa's combat strength increased significantly.
"Boom!" The red embroidery ball landed, smashing into Xuanwu with a loud boom. Mountains flew up and shattered, scattering in all directions!
But although the red embroidery ball was powerful, Xuanwu's shell was unmatched in defense. The ball only shattered the layer of earth and mountains on Xuanwu's body, causing no real harm!
Xuanwu was furious, roaring and rising, his limbs stretching, instantly reaching the clouds. His massive body was like a floating continent, his limbs like pillars of the sky!
"Rip!" Xuanwu raised his claw, and with a light swipe, the void shattered, five cracks tearing through the sky, pressing toward Nüwa!
Nüwa did not dare to underestimate it, retreating quickly. She waved her hand, and the River and Mountain Map flew out, a small world emerging from the treasure map, blocking the attack!
Then, the map transformed, boundless light descending, the power of the Heavenly Dao adding to its might, filling the void, boundless and endless. A vast land appeared in the sky, landing on Xuanwu and enveloping him!
"Ao! Nüwa, what use is this little trinket?"
Xuanwu mocked, his massive body moving slightly, shaking a few times, causing the boundless void to collapse, storms swirling, forcing the map to retreat and be retracted!
Xuanwu, in the midst of the storm, was like a gentle breeze, completely unaffected by the terrifying, powerful storm!
Nüwa's expression was grim. She lacked powerful offensive treasures, and against Xuanwu, who was unmatched in defense throughout the Primordial Chaos, she lacked effective means!
Xuanwu had existed since the beginning of the heavens, one of the earliest primordial beings in the Primordial Chaos. He was often dormant, his name not widely known, but Nüwa knew how terrifying this being, who slept in the north, was. The power in his body could be seen just by looking at his massive form!
It had already surpassed a certain boundary!
Even with the power of the Heavenly Dao, Nüwa herself was somewhat pale in the face of such overwhelming force!
The red embroidery ball, empowered by the Heavenly Dao, was powerful, but when it struck Xuanwu, it only produced a loud boom, seemingly causing no harm!
The River and Mountain Map, though a supreme treasure, was powerless against Xuanwu's immense strength, like a single force breaking all others!
Xuanwu, in the midst of the storm, simply swung his massive claws, causing the space to shatter and the sky to collapse!
After a short while, Nüwa was already somewhat exhausted!
"Boom!" Nüwa, helpless, moved her body, revealing her true form, a human-headed, snake-bodied deity, swaying between heaven and earth, spanning billions of miles, occupying a vast expanse of the void!
Nüwa, determined, charged into the storm around Xuanwu, empowered by the Heavenly Dao, continuously using her divine powers, holy energy spreading for billions of miles, striking Xuanwu!
"Boom!" Her snake tail lashed out, slicing through the sky like a whip, striking one of Xuanwu's hind legs, causing a violent storm, making Xuanwu's leg bend involuntarily!
This caused Xuanwu's body to tilt, nearly falling over!
"Ao!" Xuanwu was enraged, shaking his body, shattering the void, lifting his hind leg, and pressing down on Nüwa!
But although Nüwa's body was massive, she was incredibly agile, dodging Xuanwu's attack and flashing to his other side, her snake tail lashing out, specifically targeting his hind leg!
And the red embroidery ball continued to strike Xuanwu's head!
Even with Xuanwu's strength, he dared not use his head to block the red embroidery ball, only using his breath to knock it away or retracting his head to use his shell for defense!
Nüwa took the initiative, constantly changing positions, attacking Xuanwu's massive body!
But despite this, the damage to Xuanwu was minimal. Finally, Xuanwu retracted his limbs, his massive body lying flat on the ground, making it difficult for Nüwa to find a way to attack!
But Xuanwu was not the type to just take hits without retaliating. He moved slightly, and streams of yellow divine power erupted from his body, manifesting divine powers in the void, forming a boundless mountain, pressing down on Nüwa!
This mountain condensed the void, isolating it as if it were separated!
Nüwa's expression changed, the power of the Heavenly Dao surging, and at the last moment before being pressed down, she broke free!
Xuanwu's breath was endless, streams of breath shattering the void, causing the red embroidery ball to lose its luster and dim!
Nüwa, heartbroken, retracted the red embroidery ball and engaged in a fierce battle with Xuanwu!
Both sides continuously used their great powers, moving and shifting, turning nearly half of the northern region into a wasteland, a desert, with countless lives perishing!
Xuanwu's divine power was boundless, his defense unmatched, but his offense was lacking. Nüwa, empowered by the Heavenly Dao, also had boundless power, but her offense was insufficient, only being agile and versatile!
Both sides were at a stalemate!
In a remote corner of the northern land, a figure hid in the shadows, watching the shocking battle, wide-eyed and speechless!
Ding Yue's killing intent avatar had been hiding in the northern region since leaving Wuyi Mountain, considering the possibility of a shocking battle, so Ding Yue chose a remote area to hide, almost reaching the western lands!
But even with mental preparation, Ding Yue was still stunned by the power of this great calamity!
Endless stars fell, the heavens collapsed, the void shattered, as if the Primordial Chaos had reached its end!
In fact, before this, the beings of the Primordial Chaos had guessed that the Witch-Demon conflict would be extremely fierce, perhaps even comparable to the first great calamity, the Longhan Initial Calamity!
But no one had expected that the Witch-Demon conflict would reach this point, with the stars of the universe falling, the heavens collapsing, the Buzhou Mountain collapsing, and the Heavenly River flooding!
The scenes of the great battles were too unexpected, the Primordial Chaos splitting into pieces, countless beings dying, with perhaps only one in ten thousand surviving!
Around the Primordial Chaos, large areas of land split, forming islands!
As for the four seas of the Primordial Chaos, the water boiled, tsunamis roaring through the heavens, flooding the land, causing massive casualties!
The Buzhou Mountain would collapse, and Ding Yue was well aware of this. The flooding of the Heavenly River was also part of his preparation!
But the immense harm caused by the collapse of the Buzhou Mountain and the flooding of the Heavenly River was something Ding Yue had not anticipated. He did not expect that even the numerous sages, empowered by the Heavenly Dao, could only barely seal the gap in the sky!
That gap was not a simple breach. If it collapsed, the nine heavens would be pulled down one after another, and the Primordial Chaos would split into pieces, collapsing!
That would be the end of the world!
The Longhan Initial Calamity was also powerful, with countless primordial deities and demons dying, the vast western lands collapsing into ruins!
But compared to the Witch-Demon Great Calamity, it was child's play!
In the end, although the primordial deities and demons had astonishing powers, they had been exploring their cultivation, with only a small number having high Daoic attainments!
But the Witch-Demon conflict?
Both sides had been in conflict for billions of years, accumulating strength for billions of years. Many great beings had deep Daoic attainments and astonishing powers, having advanced far in the realm of the Great Luo!
Like the Ten Great Demon Gods, who could create small worlds and chase the stars and the moon!
Not to mention the Demon Emperor and the Ancestral Witches, who had suppressed the Primordial Chaos for billions of years!
These beings had more seniority than many sages!
As for their origins? In the realm of the Great Luo, origins were not as crucial!
But all of this was unknown to Ding Yue. He had planned for years, risking his life to delve into the Witch-Demon Great Calamity!
Originally, everything was under his control, but now, watching the battle between Nüwa and Xuanwu, he realized that his preparations were somewhat childish!
